For the practical use of the dihalopropene compound of the present invention as an active ingredient of insecticides, acaricide or nematocides, it may be used as such; however, the dihalopropene compound of the present invention is usually formulated into oil sprays, emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, flowable concentrates such as water suspensions or emulsions, granules, dusts, aerosols, heating fumigants such as combustible fumigant, chemical fumigant and porous ceramics fumigant, ULV formulations and poison baits. These formulations are usually prepared by mixing the dihalopropene compound of the present invention with a solid carrier, a liquid carrier, a gaseous carrier or bait, and a surfactant and any other auxiliary for formulation are added thereto, if necessary. These formulations usually contain the dihalopropene compound of the present invention as an active ingredient in an amount of 0.01% to 95% by weight.

Examples of the solid carrier to be used for the formulation are fine powder or granules of clays such as kaolin clay, diatomaceous earth, synthetic hydrated silicon oxide, bentonite and acid clay; talc, ceramics, inorganic minerals such as sericite, quartz, sulfur, active carbon, calcium carbonate and hydrated silica; and chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, urea and ammonium chloride. Examples of the liquid career are water; alcohols such as methanol and ethanol; ketones such as acetone and methylethyl ketone; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and methylnaphthalene; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, cyclohexane, kerosine and gas oil; esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; nitriles such as acetonitrile and isobutyronitrile; ethers such as diisopropyl ether and dioxane; acid amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, trichloroethane and carbon tetrachloride; dimethyl sulfoxide; and vegetable oils such as soybean oil and cottonseed oil.
